M.A. Castrén’s Föreläsningar i finsk mytologi [‘Lectures on Finnish mythology’] represents an important phase in the study of mythology and religion. It is the first comparative study on Finnish and related mythologies that draws on contemporary international scholarship. The Lectures are here reviewed critically both as an emblem in the history of
the discipline and as a case study on challenges in combining methodologies from different disciplines and approaches.
